A truely large leaded glass panel..ready for install next week..by Glassworks Studio!

A few posts ago I showed off our initial artwork for this panel...Now complete and ready for install...but first we have one more panel to do for these amazing clients..  I feel like I talk about our great clients a lot... I am continually amazed by the people we meet...and how almost every project is sparked by that initial conversation and what I leave that meeting with...

Another Lily.... Stained Glass Windows in Toronto by Glassworks Studio

Well the initial artwork is complete and we are very excited to build this panel..like all of our panels...  This once will be bold....Fresh Spring Green for the leaves... soft white Bullseye for the the flowers, German Cathedral for the the background to create privacy, bevels & and more bevels...  and Opaque High Gloss Black Ripple glass for the inset border...  WOWZER!  (is that even a word??...)  This one is definitely another beauty..  

We love our clients...especially repeats... I believe my first project in this home was almost ten years ago... we are now working on her new leaded glass entryway...  and then a few privacy panels for inside...  

Here is the initial concept presented, approved and now the build.. Awesome!

Stained Glass and Leaded Glass in Toronto...Glassworks Studio...This week....

Custom New Leaded Glass Windows built to match the existing ...Can you tell the difference?

This summer is flying by....we had to leave early this week to relax after a couple of really busy weeks in studio...not to mention a trip out West for a client meeting and a awesome night at Fort Calgary...  Great music.. great friends... and great food..  Amanda did a great job running everything smoothly in the studio.. 
 
Here are some pictures of windows that were finished up the first week in June but not installed until this past Thursday... The first picture is of the existing leaded windows in the beautiful house in downtown Toronto and the second picture is of the new leaded glass windows we built for another bank of windows..  Don't they look they are were always there....  Timeless and elegant..

Sad Times for our industry...

Ok..this month of April has been an awakening for some in our industry and for others rumours of the last few years came to fruition...  Our last major wholesaler in Ontario filed for bankruptcy.  To me it is a sad event as truthfully this will affect us all.. even those of us who do the majority of our purchasing in the States. This is not the time to let a lack of professionalism take over.. the loss of this supplier results in the loss of one level of purchasing. It will affect all of us from the professional studio owner to the hobbyist who simply enjoy their GLASS TIME..

On a happier note...I think Spring is here.. construction is definitely in full swing and there are a lot of great things shaping up for the rest of 2013 at my studio.  And the new studio space is finally starting to take shape. The sprinklers were raised up to 30 feet on Friday so that we can raise the ceiling in the work space...I am thinking glass studio in the lower section with my fancy heavy wood trim casing around glass panels, windows and the door jambs...but industrial look above ..I think if will be cool.. :) I want to suspend some of the glass light fixtures we have been working on..  of course some ceiling panels...

Last week I enjoyed a great day out with  photographer Dean Carvey. We snapped some great shots of previous sites.. for Toronto Home Magazine.  ENJOY..... I AM!
